We would have to fight them later, and the country was already destroyed and starving, so we rest on having a victorious peace treaty signed with the Bolshies just like the Germans earlier did. In hindisght we allowed a great evil. Also the end of the Polish federal idea casued the Ukrainian nationalist radicalisation and its consequences.
